Prince Regent DLR station is a station on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) in Custom House, Newham in east London. The station was opened on 28 March 1994 and provides access to the eastern end of the ExCeL Exhibition Centre and ICC London. The station signage is subtitled 'for ExCeL East'.
The station is named after Prince Regent Lane, which runs north from the station towards the A13 road. The lane was built in 1811 and named after the then Prince Regent (later King George IV); it served a ferry that ran between Plaistow Level (the present Silvertown) and Charlton.[6][7]
There is a small bus station adjoining the station with buses to Plaistow and London City Airport.
The station is located on the DLR's Beckton branch, between Custom House and Royal Albert stations. It is in London fare zone 3. During major exhibitions at the adjacent Excel Centre an additional DLR shuttle service operates between Canning Town and Prince Regent stations, to supplement the normal Tower Gateway to Beckton service. The trains shuttle reverse on a crossover well to the east of the station, within sight of the next station at Royal Albert.
